hey guys looking for a cheap s3 / iphone 5 replica that will work on 1700 mhz/2100 mhz (3G on t-mobile, and Wind Mobile in canada) can anyone suggest me the fakes that are available on this frequences? looking to p urchase one for home use thanks!
What's your budget and what do you plan on doing with it ?
I'd say S3 just because of the developer support - chances are the replica phone won't have much/any and to me that is worth much in terms of value.
And with a genuine S3 you know what you are getting, unlike fakes that are notorious for not correctly reporting their specs.
If you like the iPhone design, you might take a look at some of the better Android phones that aren't "replicas" but do look similar - although they may not be cheap depending on how old they are, et cetera.
Or I guess you could buy a used iPhone 5 on eBay, though, again probably still expensive.
i dont care about development i just wanted a high quality phone for very cheap even though they are chinese @ $200 they are better offers then what is out on the market here (lgcrap)
bump?

I currently have both phones and trying to decide which one to sell. I am leaning more towards selling the Desire Z, but not really sure. The main reason I would have for keeping the Desire Z would be because of being able to use to $10 unlimited plan. I don't really use to keyboard, but it's nice to have. However it's looking like ATT has made the effort in having highend Android phones since the iPhone is on Verizon too. Meaning I eventually would have to pay more for a data plan because of other ATT Android phones that will be available throughout the yr. I usually keep phones on average for 4 months or until a better one comes out. Here are the advantages I have when comparing both phones. I always root every Android phone I have owned so SW and performance is similar between the two.
Desire Z A7275:
- Keyboard
- Trackpad
- Can use $10 unlimited Data Plan
- Ease of Access for Battery
- Less People will have in the US
- Better Build
- Camera Button
HTC Inspire A9192:
- Larger Screen
- Feels Slightly Lighter, less bulky
- Lower Price if buying outright($430 w/tax in DFW area)
- Slightly better Battery
- 4G Capable....soon
- Can send for warranty in US
- Better location of USB port
i was tempted to sell my inspire once i got it...not because i was displeased at all, but because they were going for upwards of 500 on ebay and i got mine for 99 with an upgrade.
check completed listings in ebay and see which phone is bringing more money, maybe that will help sway you one way or the other?
I had the Desire Z and was ok with it but did not like the hinge system a little flimsy and was not that tight. The screen was good and I liked the build but nothing can beat the size of the Inspire screen. I sold my Desire Z and my Desire both on E-bay to get this phone.
I thought long and hard about it but in the end it came down to how well the screen size is easy to read with old eye's. The unlimited data was nice and in the end I lost it but I really do not miss it that much and it was not that much of a factor in getting this phone.The track pad on the Z was a joke to me, my Desire trackpad was better than the Z.
Battery access on the Impression is not bad at all I have had no problems with it at all. In the end it comes down to what you want to spend you money on, for me it was the Inspire AKA Desire HD.

What they are selling for on e-bay is no indication, it took me three times to sell my Desire Z and in the end I only got $450.00 for it which sucks considering I spent $650.00 to get it from Canada only three weeks before I sold it.
To the OP you would probably get more out of selling your iphone than selling the Z!!!
this is a no brainer for me! i cant go back to screen less than 4.3!!
i can exchange my inspire for atrix with dual core. but i think bigger screen is more important to me than dual core.
After seeing what they are selling that Motorola for all I can say is forget it there is NO motorola worth that much and that processor is going to eat batteries like candy!!!!
Desire Z all the way!
I have both phones (among others) and I honestly believe the desire Z is the best phone I’ve ever had.
I love the inspire and its large screen but the build quality of the desire Z seems higher, its battery life is better and the track pad and keyboard seal the deal. The hinge while odd at first works brilliantly and after using the onscreen keyboard again I’m double sold on the hardware keyboard. Granted until I spent 2 week with WP7 on an HD2 I thought the htc touch keyboard was the best but now it’s the low point of the phone.
Of course I use my phone for business and travel so I make a lot of use of the keyboard. Of course it is fun to bring out the inspire in front of my iphone toting friends and have them ask about the screen and widgets
I don't think you can get even 3G with Desire Z. Desire Z works on HSPA/WCDMA: 900/2100 MHz but ATT runs 850/1900 MHz (soon 850 only)
Edge is way too slow for me...
Mine bad, Canada version of Desire Z do works on HSPA/WCDMA (850/1900 MHz). I was looking at the Euro version b4. Sorry.

Everyone who is using the Desire Z with ATT 3G is using the Unlocked Bell version(A7275). This came out back in October of last yr. The tmo and Euro version(A7272) doesn't work on ATT 3G
contract time this coming Saturday
my old man is buying my Razr I on Saturday so I have renew my contract
the only UK carrier I will use is Three
so its down to the i9505 GS4 or the HTC One
GS4 has the facts that battery is replaceable, Samsung seem to support their ex flagships longer than HTC, the developer community seems to be better on the Samsungs.
HTC One, much better stock out of the box and the looker of the two, but non replaceable battery and a support long term from HTC does not seem to be as good with ex flagships vs sammy.
decisions decisions decisions
It seems like you got the pros and cons about the phones.
Personaly I'd go with the GS4, if you plan to keep using the phone for a long time, Samsung's are dev friendly. If you're a short term owner like me (switching phones every 4-6 months) give the One a spin and look forward what comes out this winter.
vote one
I suggest the Samsung Galaxy S4. It has a better camera and CPU. It is also bigger and lighter than the HTC One.
Sent from my PC36100
AFAIK both are using same hardware (snapdragon 600) only the clock speeds is different gs4 is higher so it get better performance
so if you like htc one with its feature get htc one if you like gs4 with its feature and better performance get a gs 4
I have a S3... and if the S4 is anything like it, I say "meh" to the cheap plastic construction. The aluminum unibody, on the other hand... So. Sexy. So I go for the HTC.

Hello,
I am going to buy a new smartphone soon and I only have £100 to spend on it. What I want from it is to have a big screen (Maybe 5"?) with a a quiet large battery so it would work a bit, maybe dual sim and to be able to root it easily and put custom Android on it such as CyanogenMod etc. The rest stuff like camera, NFC etc I don't really care about, The most important for me is the screen size and battery life and various modifications I can do with such smartphone. What do you guys think and what would you recommend to buy ? I have found Samsung Galaxy S4 SGH-I337 16GB 13MP Unlocked from Hong Kong for a £100 on Ebay but I think that price for such device is suspicious, what do you people think about it ? The eBay item number is 111849677878.
Many Thanks !

A good phone for 100 quid is hard to find. They will start most likely around 200 quid. Try looking for the OnePlus One. If not new maybe used and it will save you some money. I see the OnePlus one starting at 200 quid atm.
Hello, I am wanting to purchase a large quantity of Android phones (or Phablets) that have a decent camera and display. The CPU, RAM & OS aren't overly important. It will be used in a store display.
Has anybody got a product they would recommend? I am aiming to keep the price below the $100 USD mark if possible per unit.
Thanks in advance

If you can get ahold of them, I would look for the models destined for emerging markets like India.

Man, it's better to find guides on the Internet. As example, I find the interesting reviews of the phones there: https://www.techadvisor.co.uk/test-centre/mobile-phone/best-mid-range-phone-3627209/ or this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8kdhwhMXkTA

I very much don't recommend you to buy this phone at that price, you have sooooo many other option, Umdigi and other Chinese less known brands often are a problem when in comes to Customer services. Same when you need to flash ROMs on it or have a problem with it, no devs are buying this.
Plus if you have trust issues with Chinese products, this one won't fit your expectations.
Please don't buy that. Just for the price point, that would be a loss for you.
Okay what do you suggest with about the same size screen and the same horsepower that chipset is slightly faster than a 730 g I looked also it needs to have bands for for Sprint so if you know of anything with a screen size that size and slightly more horsepower than a 7:30 g and 6 GB of RAM in that price range let me know thank you

The Xiaomi Mi 10 Lite seems to fit your expectations. Idk the price where you live, but for me it's close to 250$ (270€). It might be because of a sale, but if you want those specs, wait a bit longer till you have more budget or till the price is down to 250$.
Have a good day
The Umidigi S5 pro is a good phone. I have used it for over 8 months and I love it. Very fast and have had no hiccups. If you are overly concerned about it being a Chinese product (Which most of the phones are manufactured in Asian countries) then throw a custom rom on it. One that I know works for it is Havoc OS which is perfect because it is classified as a gaming phone.
